[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 4380953, member: 114"] Out of interest, I thought I'd tot up the number of powers available to wizards with the various keywords - to get an idea of which damage bonus feats are the best bets for them. here are the results acid: 4 cold: 14 fire: 14 force: 10 lightning: 5 necrotic: 4 poison: 5 psychic: 4 radiant: 2 thunder: 4 So Astral Fire could help with a total of 16 powers. Burning Blizzard could help with a total of 18 powers. Dark Fury could help with 8 powers. Raging Storm could help with a total of 9 powers [B]At Paragon Tier[/B] Inescapable Force could effect 10 powers Lasting Frost could work with 14 powers (with limitations) Lightning Arc could work with 5 powers Resounding Thunder with 4 powers Solid Sound with 14 powers [B]At Epic Tier[/B] Font of Radiance with 2 powers Irresistable Flame with 14 powers Interesting, eh? When it comes to Wizards it looks as though there is a lot more mileage in some feats than in others. (It might be worth observing that there is one fire, one cold and two force at-wills amongst the statistics above. By their very nature, these are going to come into play more often) As an experiment, if I weight the number to include a nod to frequency of use along the following schedule daily = 1 encounter = 2 at-will = 4 Then the results come out like this: acid: 5 cold: 23 fire: 23 force: 21 lightning: 8 necrotic: 6 poison: 5 psychic: 6 radiant: 4 thunder: 9 It might be interesting to do the same for Warlocks (and possibly others). What do you think? [/QUOTE]
